Curried Fried Rice with Tofu

A dish that is tasty. It’s got so much flavor and nuance thanks to the Madras curry powder, chiles, fresh ginger, and garlic. And it’s healthy. Vegetarian with the eggs, vegan if you skip the eggs and add more tofu.

Instructions

In a large skillet, melt the red palm oil over moderately high heat. Add the tomatoes, curry powder, ginger, chile, garlic and shallots and cook, stirring, until the shallots begin to brown, about 4 minutes.

Stir in the rice and tofu and cook, stirring once or twice, until the rice is toasted and crisped, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and tamari.

Using a spoon, make a hole in the middle of the rice and add the eggs and let them cook, undisturbed, until the bottom starts to set.

Stir in the basil, cilantro, mint, scallions, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Transfer the fried rice to a serving platter, sprinkle with the peanuts and serve immediately.
